The ex-USS Shadwell is a decommissioned United States Navy Landing Ship Dock that serves as the Navy's full-scale damage control research, development, test and evaluation platform.

Moored in Mobile Bay, AL, the ex-USS Shadwell is regularly set ablaze in a controlled environment to further the safety of operational Navy and civilian shipboard fire fighting measures.
